Welcome to North Dakota State University! One of the first concerns you may have when you decide to attend NDSU is, where will I live?

On-campus housing is available by applying to the Residence Life Office. All new students under the age of 19 at the semester start date are required to live on-campus their first academic year. Off-campus housing is available, but you will need to make your own arrangements after you arrive. We will try to find another student to assist you.

There are twelve residence halls on the NDSU campus. Four halls are called high rises and are coeducational (men and women living on alternate floors). High rises have suites which consist of two-three rooms with bath. Four to five people live in each suite. The four co-ed halls are called Pavek, Thompson, Sevrinson, and Seim. The high rises require all students to have the meal plan. Students on the meal plan must eat in the university cafeteria.

The all-female and all-male residence halls are called low rises. The low rises have rooms in which two people live in each room. There is one large bathroom on each floor which has individual shower and bathroom stalls. The names of the halls for women are Burgum, Dinan, North Weible, and South Weible. The names of the halls for men are Churchill, Stockbridge, Reed, and Johnson. Students living in Burgum, Dinan, Churchill, and Stockbridge, are not required to have the meal plan. There are kitchens available in each hall for your convenience. Microwave and refrigerator units are available to rent.

When you plan your schedule to arrive in Fargo, please remember that you may not be able to stay in a residence hall immediately. The Residence Life staff needs to have a sufficient amount of time to prepare the halls for your arrival. REMEMBER, if you plan to live in a residence hall you MUST complete a housing application and pay the $50 deposit before arrival and room assignment. The earlier you submit the application and the deposit, the less problems you will have with your housing arrangements after you arrive.

If you would like more information, please visit the Residence Life website.

Sincerely,

Staff of Office of International Programs
